			<h2>Mother</h2>
			<p>
			A library & host by <a href="http://www.onar3d.com">Ilias Bergstrom</a> for the programming environment <a href="http://www.processing.org" target="_blank">processing</a>. Last update, 10/06/2009.
			</p>
			<p>From the colour organs of past centuries, to todays VJing and new media art performances, artists and scientists have shown perpetual interest in the live performance of visual imagery.

The limited aesthetic flexibility permitted by existing tools however has meant that artists striving to differentiate their work have most often been the inventors and creators of the tools they use.

To address this obstacle, we have developed a set of tools, that make use of and extend the popular Processing open-source multimedia programming environment.

Together they will enable artists without the skills of computer programming to significantly influence the content of their visual performance, while also keeping the programming of new graphics algorithms accessible to those seeking greater creative freedom.
